Yes.  That's true.  We could disable the function in wdc_pcmcia_detach()
instead of just after the call to wdcattach().  This will, however,
leave the card powered up as long as it's in the slot.  But is that
better? It's more of a power drain if you have a laptop and want
to keep the CF (or whatever) installed for long periods with no use.
That doesn't seem like an unrealistic usage pattern to me.
